    Hi Andrew,

    The solution from Cadence AE is to use dspf view, which just as you mentioned, requires copy and paste dspf files. I stopped half-way trying to implement it: 1. starRC extraction by default generates dspf.gz files and in my case they are >6MB, it seems to take forever to unzip just one. 2. limit of file editor buffer size will probably require multiple copy and paste, will could also be troubling.  3. multiple views will multiply the effort required from 1 and 2.

    AE didn't comment on setting up a variable and pointing to different .dspf.gz files, which would be the ideal solution in my opinion. Do you mind taking a look at the status here: is it going to a new feature or a bug that needs to be fixed?

    Thanks,
    Kevin
